The most destructive slide I remember
was one that came down upon the Sheri-
dan and Mandota mines neal the top of
the range that rises above Ouray. It
carried away the kitchen and bunk house
Of the men, and covered fifteen miners.
Some who escaped came down to Ouray
on snow shoes over q p~erilous trail, run
ming nearly all tho way along precipices,
aud overhung with cliffs, bearing tremb-
ling masses Of snow, threatening other
slides. They begged us for help to dig
out their imprisoned comrades. We sent
a party up on snow shoes Immediately,
eight Of ths. nerviest men in the camp.
They got up to the mines safely and dug
out the bodies and two live men. Then
they put seven of the dead men into sleds,
and with the rescued men started back to
Ouray, a party of fifteen.
They were half way down when another
slid came down on the trail and swept
away sleds, corpses and There
was n space fifty feet wide from the trail
10 the brink of a canyon, over eighty feet
deep. Some Of the men were released by
the snow before they were carried to the
edge of the gulf, but most of them, with
ali the sled bearers, went over and down
upon the deep snow at the bottom. Not
m of that party was killed, although
they were somewhat bruised, and they
all, singly or In small parties, made their
way back to Ouray within the next three
days. Tho corpses lay embalmed in the
snow until spring, when the thawing Of

then brought down to Ouray and buried.

DR.. II. A. Mott, the chemist, has been
making u study of natural gas. When
asked what he thought was the origin Of
the gas, and whether he thought it was
really volatized petroleum, as has been
claimed, he replied; mo. 1t seems to
me that it cannot be; to go produce it
would require a far greater heat than ex-
lists at the depth where it is found. My
theory is that the gas was thrown off
during the first stage Of decomposition of
the herbaceous and ligneus plants, and
has since remained undiscovered in the
caverns of the earth. 1 say the first
stage because l consider that in this case
there were three stages Of decomposition,
the first resulting in gas, the second in
petroleum and the third in coal.-New

A funeral in Egypt is, indeed, q strange

bearing q great red shawl, in which the
body Is deposited. At the extremity of
the bier, on a perch, IS placed the turban
or tho tarbouche of the defunct. Two
men carry this bier. They follow with
such hiGh spirits the movements of the
Lead of the cortege that the corpse,
rocked in every direction, seems to jump
under the shawl that shrouds it. The
women bring up the rear, some on asses,
some on foot.
The first row Is formed Of weepers or
rather 5~creaIners. who send forth toward
heaven at each step the shrillest notes.
The weepers hold in their hand a hand

hind their head with q gesture that would
be desperate If it were not droll. On ar
rival ut the cemetery they take the corpse
from the bier, to cast it, such as 1t is. into
the grave. The grand funerals, however,
take place with much more sulemnity.
An important Parsonage is hardly dead in
Egypt before his friends and acquaintance
hurry to the house; during one or two
days they eat and drink at the expense OF
the dead, or rather his heirs, indulging in
the noisiest demonstrations.
When the hour of the interment ar.
rives q scene Of the widest character is
produced. The slaves and women of

and feign a determ. nation to hinder 1t
from passing the threshold. This luGu-
brious tragedy Is played ~oonscientiouly;
they snatch away the coffin; they Delay
each other with blows, and tho most vio-
lent and frightful clamor is heard. At
last the procession leaves the house and
retires to the cemetery, preceded by cam
els loaded with victuals, which are dis
tributed to the poor ~Eurrying in crowds
along the road. All along the road the
mourners and friends Of the family fight
for the honor of bearing the bier for an
instant, and thus it passes or rather
bounds from hand to hand amid the
most frightful disorder. The interment
ended, every one returns to the house Of
the dead to recommence the festivities,
dancing and the mortuary demonstra-
